Annual Report 2021-2022: Reflecting & Evolving

Annual Report

Girl Scout Mission

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

The Girl Scout Program

Grounded in the Girl Scout Promise and Law, Girl Scouting is an experiential, cooperative education program that promotes girls’ personal growth and leadership development. Partnering with caring adults, girls design fun and challenging activities that empower them and raise their voices within a local, national, and global sisterhood.

Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try: to serve God* and my country, to help people at all times, and to live by the Girl Scout Law.

Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

*Members may substitute for the word God in accordance with their own spiritual beliefs.

Dear Girl Scout Friends,

With each new year, we at Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes (GSNWGL) are in the wonderful position to see our members grow and change as they learn to navigate the world and the Girl Scout Experience. And we as a Council have a duty to our youth to grow and evolve with them. In this time of change, we will rise to the occasion and meet our Girl Scouts where they are.

Our founder, Juliette Gordon Low, once said, “I realize that each year [Girl Scouts] has changed and grown until I know that a decade from now, what I might say of it would seem like an echo of what has been instead of what is.”

With our Girl Scouts in mind, we are reflecting and evolving—our program, properties, volunteer experience, training opportunities, and more. Our Council is poised and ready to make the changes necessary to meet our Girl Scouts and their needs. Change can be challenging, but it is also exciting.

It’s exciting to know that we are giving today’s youth experiences and opportunities that will change their lives. When we ground our decisions in the needs and desires of our Girl Scouts, a whole new world of possibility opens up before us. One that may look different but is still grounded in our values of inclusion and cooperation.

Again, our change-making founder, Juliette Gordon Low, sums up our Council’s purpose so eloquently, “My purpose…to go on with my heart and soul, devoting all my energies to Girl Scouts, and heart and hand with them, we will make our lives and the lives of the future girls happy.”

A special thank you to our dedicated volunteers, staff, partners, donors, and Girl Scout families. Because of you and your commitment to supporting the Girl Scouts of today and tomorrow, we can help them take the lead and find their place in this world. We can show them that their dreams can become a reality. And we can inspire them to make the world a better place.

“I love Girl Scouts because we do fun things, go on eld trips, and try new stuff. We help others.”

Daisy Girl Scout

“Girl Scouts is great! It’s a fun, safe place, and we get to do fun activities.”

Patti Shafto-Carlson Dr. Corey King Chief Executive Officer Board President

“In Girl Scouts, we learn about different things, be detectives, learn about different women in history, and have a good time.”

Junior Girl Scout

“Being a Girl Scout is the best thing I could ever choose. You can do a bunch of leadership stuff, go to camp, and sell cookies. You can also learn to be better with money, do STEM activities, and make new friends.”

“I’m in Girl Scouts because it’s a fun way to learn life skills like communication, team work, and survival skills. Plus, I can go on field trips and camp is an amazing experience.”

Senior Girl Scout

“Girl Scouts is a fun time with learning involved. We get to hang out, laugh and socialize, and go on cool trips. Girl Scouts teaches me to strive for better things.”

Our Council

400 miles East to West 300 miles North to South

Serving Girl Scouts in 58 counties across Wisconsin & the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

“Working in the Communications department, I get to take photos and videos of Girl Scouts as they take part in the Girl Scout experience. After nearly 30 years with Girl Scouts, 11 of them as a council staff member, I never tire of taking photos of kiddos in action. People of all ages are a little scared to be on camera and say things like, ‘I won’t look good,’ ‘My hair isn’t right,’ or ‘I’m not photogenic.’ But here’s the thing, when I reply with, ‘I don’t want you to look pretty or have perfect hair. I don’t want you to be photogenic. I want you to be yourself—fierce and strong and brave,’ those same shy, worried Girl Scouts light up and go back to exactly what they were doing. And that’s because Girl Scouting, at its core, is about giving kids (and 37-year-old adults like me) the space to be fierce, strong, brave, and so much more without needing to be perfect. Being a Girl Scout is about trying new things and when you do that, you get messy, and you make mistakes—but you also learn and have fun and that makes those messy mistakes less scary.”

Melissa Loest, Communications Manager

Our Members

Our approach to membership this year was hybrid. We recognized that some families still wanted to participate online, but others were excited to be in person. We held in-person recruitments where we could, with an adventure theme. We also continued offering virtual recruitment opportunities.

We planned for membership to recover after the pandemic but still felt the effects this past year. We aimed to increase our membership by 11%, but with limited access to schools, and families still hesitant to join in-person activities, we fell short. Another challenge Girl Scouts will face in the years ahead is a predicted 1.4% decrease in the girl population.

We celebrated record-breaking retention for our council—71%. General membership was up 27.5%, and Reaching Out membership grew from 35 to 723. Compared to national numbers, our council was successful overall. Of 112 councils, our council was 12th in membership share.

Our adult membership tracked much better than our youth membership—we surpassed our goal and increased by 4.6% over the year prior. Despite these numbers, we also struggled to recruit new adult volunteers and start new troops.

To meet the needs of troop leaders and families in a school year where COVID still loomed and influenced how people participated in extra-curricular activities, we had to be creative with our membership strategies. We used activity kits and flyers about kindness to get recruitment information into schools where we could. For the upcoming year, we have three creative projects that we hope will address membership challenges:

1 – Daisy Kits | We give every new Daisy troop leader a kit of troop meeting instructions and supplies.

2 – Community Starter Troops | These starter troops are an excellent way for Girl Scouts to start meeting while waiting for troops to form.

3 – Communication | We send emails to our individually registered Girl Scouts (Juliettes) to increase their engagement with the Girl Scout Program and our council.

Reaching Out

Reaching Out delivers a staff-led Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) to youth in grades K–12 at schools, afterschool sites, community centers, and detention centers.

We served 2,397 kids through our Reaching Out program—totaling 12,354 youth served through Girl Scouts. Of those served through our Reaching Out program, 723 Reaching Out Girl Scouts are registered members.

Super Troop

Super Troop is a training initiative that outlines the ideal combination of Girl Scout experiences in one year, emphasizing that a variety of troop activities is correlated with high satisfaction in Girl Scouts (by all three Girl Scout Voices Count audiences: youth members, parents, and volunteers). Super Troop is presented as a patch program with the incentive of a free patch for Girl Scouts and their leaders.

The Super Troop patch program focuses on nine different activities for Girl Scouts.

These include:

• One parent meeting or family event

• One field trip

• One service project or Take Action project

• Four badges or other earned awards

• 1,405 Girl Scouts x 4 badges = 5,620 earned awards by Super Troop Girl Scouts in 2021–2022

• One cookie kick-off event and participation in the cookie program

• One Girl Scout tradition

• One outdoor outing

• One STEM activity

• One overnight (Brownies and up)

“The growth in these Girl Scouts in just eight short days was inspirational. We arrived as strangers but left as family—including important friends we met along the way in Panama!”

Carrie Andringa, Program Manager

Panama Trip

In June 2022, eighteen Girl Scouts took the trip of a lifetime to Panama. Many had never flown internationally, had never been to a place where English was not the official language, and hadn’t been on a long trip without their families.

Event Success Stories

New this year, the program department planned and implemented a series of archery clinics at Camp Winnecomac.

During one of the sessions, a Girl Scout needed to feel more confident in trying archery. They didn’t think they could ever hit the target. WIth expert guidance and practice, they hit the target and were excited and proud to have stuck with it and kept trying.

A total of 30 Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors joined the Door County Adventure Center for a day full of challenges to overcome individually and as a group. Groups rotated through a climb, a balancing activity, and a group rope swing. Girl Scouts also tackled the zip line tour and flying squirrel!

Daisy and Brownie Girl Scouts joined Michigan Tech University to earn the Think Like an Engineer Journey! Girl Scouts were mailed supplies to grow plants using the hydroponic method. Hydroponics is a type of horticulture and a subset of hydroculture, which is a method of growing plants, usually crops, without soil, by using mineral nutrient solutions in an aqueous solvent.

Brownies joined middle-grade author Eileen MoskowitzPalma virtually for the Brownie: My Family Story workshop! Eileen helped each Brownie explore their family stories, share where their family is from, complete a family story tree and share sentimental family objects. All participants received Eileen’s book, a bookmark, a friendship bracelet, and a special handwritten letter from Eileen!

Cadettes from all over our council attended Cadettes: Coding for Good at Appleton North High School. Cadettes learned to code in a comfortable and engaging environment, as well as unearth the deep secrets of why women are so underrepresented in such a critical field.

*Note: Camp-led summer Outdoor Day and Journey Overnight events are not reflected here.

Camp & Outdoors

Girl Scout camp—more than just s’mores. In 2022 we excitedly welcomed over 1,000 campers to Girl Scout Camp. We kept a few COVID-19 precautions in place and the health and safety of Girl Scouts continued to be our top priority. For the first time in a couple of years, Girl Scouts were able to take part in the full camp experience. Girl Scouts built skills like resiliency, teamwork, and grit in the great outdoors.

One impact of COVID-19 that was righted this summer was Girl Scouts wishing to complete their fifth and final Wilderness Trip and earn their Red Suspenders. Six campers and two trip leaders set off on canoes, skirting the Canadian shores of Quetico Provincial Park for 18 days. These Girl Scouts planned their itinerary, packed their supplies, and headed out–braving the elements, supporting one another, and making memories that will last them a lifetime.

“Lucy was extremely afraid of the rapids. We were able to confident enough to try going down the rapids. Lucy was very overcome her fears.”

“Our daughter had such a positive experience. She really liked the staff. She came home with so many stories to tell, new songs to sing, and an enhanced enjoyment of Girl Scouts.”

Camper Parent

In 2022, GSNWGL Camp served Girl Scouts from 172 cities across 192 zip codes!

“Sarah

made some great connections while at camp. She also learned some very cool outdoor skills. She is begging to go camping as a family now! We can’t wait for her to show us all she learned on our camping trip!”

Camper Parent

“Lily’s days at camp have been truly life-changing, and we owe a debt of gratitude. She formed a definite bond with her cabin mate and ALL of the counselors. Girl Scouts and CBT is way more than just a CAMP!”

Volunteer Training

Volunteer training events have an exponential impact on Girl Scouts. GSNWGL is proud to host three special training offerings this year:

Celebrate Diversity & Inclusion Workshop | Inclusion is a cornerstone value of Girl Scouts. But how do we show it? Or even talk about it? Led by Celebrate Diversity and its experienced facilitators, participants found teachable moments for exploring diversity, equity, and inclusion in Girl Scouts and our communities. Participants walked away with a better understanding of how to engage youth and adults in both conversation and action to make the world a better place.

LGBTQ+ Safe Allyship | Supporting LGBTQ+ Girl Scouts requires special care and attention. Through Safe Ally training, hosted virtually by UWGB, individuals had the opportunity to learn more about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning individuals. LGBTQ+ Safe Allyship Training explored current issues and discussed how to support and advocate for those in gender and/or sexual minorities. Participants practiced using tools to share with Girl Scouts to facilitate conversation and action to make the world a better place.

Youth Mental Health First Aid | This training opportunity taught participants how to help adolescents (ages 12–18) who are developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The evidence behind the program demonstrates that it helps trainees identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Youth Mental Health First Aid introduced participants to the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adolescents, built an understanding of the importance of early intervention, and taught individuals how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge.

“I am actually very relieved to have such an organized and well-thoughtout timeline to follow. The instructions within the timeline and explanations are thorough and make this process a little less intimidating.

“I thought this was a great way to quickly and effectively introduce new volunteers to what the Girl Scouts are all about.”

“Everything was well-written and detailed. I will be able to successfully set my troop up with all the resources and help I have gained from this training.”

“This was a wonderful introduction to Girl Scouts. I feel empowered as a volunteer and know where to find the resources to help me on this journey.”

“Love this! Everyone has been so friendly and helpful! Excited not only for my daughter to make friends but for myself to make friends as well!”

“I thought the course was well laid out and informative. Honestly, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed, but it does bring me some comfort knowing I can reach out to the council and get answers. Thank you for the training. 408 volunteer training spots filled, impacting

Girl Scouts.

Our Commitment to IDEA/RJ (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access & Racial Justice)

We are building on a 110-year legacy of women and girls who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in their time by righting the wrongs disenfranchising members of our siblinghood today. At Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes, we are working to recognize biases, eliminate barriers, repair past errors, and hold ourselves accountable as we grow. This work elevates the representation, engagement, and leadership of our youth, families, volunteers, staff, and community by honoring our diverse histories, cultures, and identities.

We committed to building trust and visibility in our Latinx and Hmong communities by adding bilingual staff members whose sole focus is on making Girl Scouts a more accessible and equitable place. This work has included direct service by adding bilingual troops and internal work to make Girl Scouts a reality for families in their preferred language. Over half of Girl Scout staff completed multicultural engagement training to learn

how to apply an inclusive mindset to on-the-ground strategies and tactics in their ways of work. Through these efforts, we are making the strategic and systemic shifts needed to continue our legacy of boundarypushing for the next 110 years.

Girl Scouts saw themselves represented through five new culture-affirming patch programs, celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, Native American Heritage Month, Black History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and LGBTQ+ Pride Month.

We grew inclusive mindsets through development offerings for staff and volunteers. Each GSNWGL staff member completed 10–14 hours of IDEA/RJ development. Staff had the opportunity to participate in five training sessions and two book clubs and were afforded designated time for service and learning on Martin Luther King Day and Juneteenth. Volunteers participated in live training sessions on the basics of inclusion and diversity and supporting LGBTQ+ Girl Scouts. They also gained access to self-paced resources on using inclusive language and integrating cultural connections and representation into their Girl Scout experiences.

We installed land acknowledgments at Camp Pow Low and our Appleton Service Center, recognizing the Anishinaabe, Menominee, and Ho-Chunk Nations for their sacred, historical, and significant connection as the original caretakers of the land on which these two properties rest.

We also removed a decorative structure fashioned after a totem pole on the camp property. We know the pole initially came from good intentions and much hard work from our Girl Scouts. However, without a historical connection and the collaboration of our local Indigenous nations, we did not feel that we could continue to display this structure on a Girl Scout property in a way that truly honored our Indigenous sisters.

Finally, we continued to utilize our staff-led Reaching Out program to create an accessible ramp into Girl Scouts from which we can introduce ourselves and engage families and invite participants to become members, join a troop, attend events, and attend camp.

Invest in Girl Scouts. Champion the next generation’s dreams.

Before they can launch a company or launch into space, they’ll need to believe they can do it. Join us to lift up the next generation and help them find their own pathways to success. Then, watch them learn, grow, discover—and soar to new heights—with the pride of knowing you helped make it possible.
